But for Master Xuan Gu to appear so timely at this critical juncture, it's highly likely that he was originally lurking near the area of the Three Kingdoms.

This inevitably leads one to suspect that the mysterious Evil Ghost Order on Song Fei's body is very likely given by Master Xuan Gu.

However, looking at the current situation, after Master Xuan Gu joined the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, he would inevitably be deeply entangled and unable to extract himself in the short term.

This doesn't affect him much!

Moreover, a long time has passed since this incident.

Even if one is a Nascent Soul cultivator with great divine techniques, it's extremely difficult to find even the slightest clue.

Thinking of this, the tension in Xu Ping's heart slowly relaxed.

"It seems it shouldn't have a significant impact on us."

Xu Ping remained silent for a while. After some calm thinking and analysis, he slowly spoke,

"After all, Master Xuan Gu is just the helper specially invited by Master Xuanfeng; he's not likely to recklessly fight to the death with True Monarch Wan Ming and Sect Leader Jiang."

"And as for True Monarch Wan Ming and Sect Leader Jiang, they probably wouldn't dare to easily offend such a massive force as the Six Demon Countries Alliance, naturally they wouldn't rashly attack Master Xuan Gu either!"

"With such a stalemate between both sides, the most likely outcome in the end is that the cultivators from the two countries will once again scour the territory of Feng Country and then withdraw their troops."

Zhou Tianle listened intently to Xu Ping's analysis and immediately nodded in agreement, sincerely praising:

"What Fellow Daoist Xu said is extremely reasonable and well analyzed."

As for whether Master Xuan Gu would turn against the Three Kingdoms and wreak havoc on them after the dust settles on the battlefield, Zhou Tianle wasn't too concerned.

After all, in the structure of the Cultivation Realm of Nanchuan, although the Six Demon Countries Alliance is one of the top and powerful forces, it doesn't mean they don't have opponents to restrain them.

For example, the alliance formed by the united orthodox countries, 'One Qi Alliance', has been a longstanding nemesis of the Six Demon Countries Alliance.

The two major forces have been fighting for years, with continuous conflicts, and during the protracted struggle, Nascent Soul cultivators have fallen on both sides.

However, despite intense fights, neither side has been able to outmatch the other decisively.

So in such a delicate situation today, even cultivators from the demonic path have to be cautious with their actions.

They wouldn't wantonly carry out blood sacrifices and other brutal actions on a country that is barely considered neutral and also has Nascent Soul cultivators residing domestically.

After all, they worry that this move would push this neutral country entirely into the 'One Qi Alliance' camp.

Should such a situation arise, the balance of power that has been maintained for so long would be broken, and the situation would develop in an unfavorable direction.

As for those weak countries with no Nascent Soul cultivators, they can only seek fortune on their own.

Facing these small countries, 'One Qi Alliance' typically only issues verbal condemnation at most, without taking real action to provide aid.

...

After the two chatted a bit more about various matters concerning the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhou Tianle's face suddenly showed a trace of hesitation, as if he was struggling intensely within.

Eventually, he clenched his teeth and offered a reminder,

"Fellow Daoist Xu, the situation in Yue Country has been a bit unstable recently. If you're out and about, you must be extra careful."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping slightly narrowed his eyes, a gleam flashed in them, but then he faintly smiled and said:

"When was the situation in Yue Country ever safe? It's always turbulent."

Zhou Tianle didn't say much else, vaguely saying something like 'still, be careful', before leaving aboard his Escape Light from the Thousand Leaves Mountain.

"Farewell, Fellow Daoist Zhou." Xu Ping escorted Zhou Tianle out of the pavilion.

After Zhou Tianle completely disappeared from sight, Xu Ping's eyes held a hint of contemplation and hesitation.

If there remains any potential hidden danger in the assassination of Song Fei, that would be Zhou Tianle!

However, thinking it over, this hidden danger is too small.

Moreover, Zhou Tianle would certainly be extremely wary of this matter, and wouldn't dare to disclose even a fraction of it.

Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator with great divine techniques wanted to investigate and clarify the situation, it would be extremely difficult.

Actually, from the most prudent standpoint, it would be best to kill Zhou Tianle.

In that case, it would be basically impossible for anyone to find out that Song Fei was killed by him.

However, after repeatedly weighing it in his mind, Xu Ping hesitated for a while but ultimately gave up on this thought.

While he doesn't think of himself as a good person, he is also not someone heartless and indiscriminate in killing the innocent.

He has known Zhou Tianle for decades, and they have some friendship between them.

Merely because of such a small potential for exposure, Xu Ping can't bring himself to kill Zhou Tianle.

"Alas, at the end of the day, my power is still too weak!"

Xu Ping sighed slightly, his tone full of helplessness and emotion.

His current strength, though far beyond that of cultivators of the same tier.

But compared to a Nascent Soul cultivator, the difference is too great, like that of an ant.

If he had the strength of a Nascent Soul, why would he fear Master Xuan Gu?

And why would he be so beset by concerns over some potential hidden dangers?

With this thought, Xu Ping's originally rock-solid heart for pursuing the path became even more firm.
